Real-estate developer and rancher Blair Pence spent two years searching for just the right spot to build this contemporary home. Mr. Pence says that he paid $3.25 million for this property in 2001, which at the time included a 1950s ranch house that he eventually tore down. Mr. Pence brought in a feng shui expert to advise on the new house; one result is a water element that extends for almost a hundred feet, part of which can be seen here.
